DrayTek Vigor 2110n review

Great product, good review - but what about NAS speeds?

You mention USB storage devices (such as external HDDs) can be connected, but had anyone any idea of the resulting file transfer speeds.

I have an HDD attached to the back of my Belkin router. The result is usable as NAS for streaming music to my SONOS system, but not as a data drive used from Windows (e.g. navigating a directory structure via Explorer is painfully slow).

Is it a modem too?

Is this an ADSL modem too? Otherwise I'll need to buy the modem - at this sort of price I'd expect the modem to be included!

Recommended? You're kidding

I've had the 2710n for about 2 months now. Its fine if you want to use the 'out of the box' settings. But adding any URL filtering, setting more than one SSID, or basically doing anything you might have bought this router for in the first place causes a gradual degradation until the internet is unusable. I have now reverted to my old Belkin router until I can find something that actually works. Recomended? Don't make me laugh

DrayTek Vigor 2110n Review

@Projexe and stephen_elms - try this router http://tenda.cn/product/show.php?productid-343.htm
l.

Been using this a while now, and it's not let me down. Give it a go. It's not expensive and does the job. Has modem if you're ADSL.

Still recommended? You're still kidding!

I heartily agree with projexe who commented on 13 August 2010. Perhaps if you make no changes to the default settings of the router it will function but I have found that its performance deteriorates with use. I've wasted a lot of time on this device. Draytek's support is surly at best but usually is nonexistent.
